Another Easy-As-Pie Scarf

Okay, I admit it, I'm hooked on, addicted to and in love with scarves. This scarf is made out of a shiny cotton by Caron. I found the stitch in an old magazine and adapted it to a skinny scarf. It goes like this.

The stitch is called a V-Stitch
(Double crochet, chain 2, double crochet)

• ROW 1
• I chained an odd number (I think it was 21 and dc'd in the 6th chain from the hook.

*I skipped the next 2 chains, then V-stitch in the next ch
repeat from * all the way across then turn.



ROW 2

Chain 5, dc in 1st chain 2 space, *V-stitch in the chain-2 of the NEXT V-stitch. Repeat from * all the way across.
You will end with a V-stitch under the turning-ch. Turn and repeat Row 2 over until you have the length you want.

See, I told you it was easy.

A Fall Shrug

This is the Hook & Weave Shrug by Jennifer Orr. I have been thinking about crocheting a shrug for the winter. I am considering this one perhaps in a navy.

OAYPP, I'm In...

Well, I haven't been crocheting much lately but for this event I will.

I think I'll sign up for that scarf event and do a minimum of 1 (ha-ha).

For the entire list of Team Overly Ambitious Yet Plausibly Possible (OAYPP). See Carolyn's blog. She is updating the list daily.

Wish me luck !!!

It's Time for a Blog Break...

See You in June...

Happy Mother's Day to Everyone...

Enjoy !!!

Hairpin Lace Shawl from Vogue Magazine 2007

Hers is a shawl I thought about making but never got around to it. I've never done any hairpin lacing. I have heard that it's very easy.

If I take on this project, I will probably make it a bit shorter. Although she appears to be dressed up, I wouldn't have a problem wearing this over a shirt or turtleneck for work.

One thing though. It does look as though it would catch on to a lot of things with it being a bit loopy.

Oldies but Goodies...

These scarves are from the Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2005 issue. You may remember them. Beautiful, aren't they !

I like all three but am especially partial to the first and second scarves. In terms of crocheting scarves, the shell stitch is my favorite. Years ago, I had crocheted them in no less than a dozen colors. I sometimes regret giving them away.

As I go into this journey of familiarizing myself with crochet again, I will try not to crochet too many shell stitched scarves.

Okay, I did it...

I actually finished a scarf. I haven't crocheted in a while and this shell stitching came out a bit smaller than I'd planned but all in all, It looks really pretty over the black blouse. I'm pleased.

I worked this scarf from the Blue Sky cotton group. The color is not showing up as it really is but this is their periwinkle. It's still very pretty.
